Introduction, by the American Editor.

[5883] Rom. xii. 19.

[5884] Rom. 12.19; Deut. 32.25.

[5885] Rom. xii. 18.

[5886] Rom. xiii. 9.

[5887] Ironically said. He has been quoting all along from Marcion’s text of St. Paul, turning its testimony against Marcion.

[5888] Matt. v. 17.

[5889] For although he rejected St. Matthew’s Gospel, which contains the statement, he retained St. Paul’s epistle, from which the statement is clearly proved.

[5890] Ecce.

[5891] Promerendum.

Chapter XV.—The First Epistle to the Thessalonians. The Shorter Epistles Pungent in Sense and Very Valuable. St. Paul Upbraids the Jews for the Death First of Their Prophets and Then of Christ. This a Presumption that Both Christ and the Prophets Pertained to the Same God. The Law of Nature, Which is in Fact the Creator’s Discipline, and the Gospel of Christ Both Enjoin Chastity. The Resurrection Provided for in the Old Testament by Christ. Man’s Compound Nature.

[5892] Sapor. We have here a characteristic touch of his diligent and also intrepid spirit. Epiphanius says this short epistle “was so entirely corrupted by Marcion, that he had himself selected nothing from it whereon to found any refutations of him or of his doctrine.” Tertullian, however, was of a different mind; for he has made it evident, that though there were alterations made by Marcion, yet sufficient was left untouched by him to show the absurdity of his opinions. Epiphanius and Tertullian entertained, respectively, similar opinions of Marcion’s treatment of the second epistle, which the latter discusses in the next chapter (Larder).

[5893] 1 Thess. ii. 15.

[5894] All the best mss., including the Codices Alex., Vat., and Sinait., omit the ἰδίους, as do Tertullian and Origen. Marcion has Chrysostom and the received text, followed by our A.V., with him.

[5895] Amarum.

[5896] Status exaggerationis.

[5897] Ergo exaggerari non potuit nisi.

[5898] Ex utroque titulo.

[5899] 1 Thess. iv. 3, 4.

[5900] 1 Thess. iv. 5.

[5901] Portentuosis.

[5902] The rule of Gentile life.

[5903] We have here followed Oehler’s reading, which is more intelligible than the four or five others given by him.
